Mevludin (often rendered Mevlud or Mevlüt in Turkish orthography) is a Bosnian male name adopted via Ottoman-Turkish channels from Arabic mawlūd/mawlid meaning 'born' or 'birth/celebration of birth'. In Bosnia the form Mevludin preserves the Ottoman phonological adaptation and is attested in 19th–20th-century Bosnian registers and family use. The name is connected culturally to mawlid observances in Muslim communities but is a personal name rather than a liturgical term. It is rare and regionally concentrated; related names encountered in the same cultural sphere include [[Mevlut]] and [[Mawlid]] (as a lexical source), demonstrating the Turkish-Arabic-Bosnian naming pathway.
